Object Text- Multiple Leaders
« on: Aug 20, 2019, 14:52:26 PM »
Has anyone had success creating a ctext or lisp for multiple leaders from a single object text item?

Any help/ direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you referring to text that is produced by CADmep. Something similar to the magenta triangle?

Yes, exactly... the Fabrication CADmep "BIM-intelligent" text. We believe we have a need for multiple magenta triangles. Haha!

Select the magenta triangle and hit the Ctrl key. It will then let you place another leader from the same item. You can do this with as many leaders as you like.

I tried using the Control Key to Add multiple leaders. Each time I added another leader it created another piece of duct. I am not sure If I did something incorrectly but just a heads up if you try this. Be sure you are not making more pieces when you only wanted to add another leader.

You are correct sir. Since they were double stacked, I did not see the copy at first.

Dang... I was hoping that would be it. But unfortunately duplicating the item isn't an acceptable by-product. Haha!

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
